No, its not about SwB..hehe.. its about guys like me, who have migrated to a bigger city,managed to find a particular groove here, and are comfortable the way they are.. except for the moments when the ‘small town blues’ hit them…<\/span>
i have always said that you are lucky if you are born in a big city, no, not because of the neon lights, but because you can choose to spend your entire life in a city you were born in.. of course, all of us do have that choice, but the small town guys make most of their judgements with a lot of constraints’ baggage, the biggest these days being job availability…<\/span>
there is a certan joy of travelling on the same roads, watching things change, going by yourold school, seeing familiar faces, walking in the parks that you played in as a child, feeling the sea wind on your face and watching different ships on the same port, feeling safe, speaking in a language you have been speaking forever, hanging out in places that you know inside out, seeing the night lights – forever growing brighter…<\/span>
of course floyd has a different version in ‘time’ –<\/span>
“kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, <\/span><\/em>
waiting for someone or something to show you the way.<\/span><\/em>
tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain,<\/span><\/em>
you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today,<\/span><\/em>
and then one day you find ten years have got behind you,<\/span><\/em>
no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.”……..<\/span><\/em>
(speaking of floyd, please check this<\/a> out)<\/span>
but i’d still say that for people born in a big city, there are memories of a time that once was,for us, there are memories of a time and place, that once were…. “but i guess thats why they call it the blues”<\/span>
until next time, blue is my favourite color<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
